I've been playing since 1984 - first Accordion, then I tried out a whole bunch of other instruments, followed by a long stretch of electronic music - then Epinette which is my dearest and most inspiring companion now.

What was the first concert you ever went to?

I think it must have been in the Bolshoi Theatre, Do Musicals count? Then Annie, in New York, some time in the 70s.

What are you looking for from Fandalism?

My long-term dream is to find people who will play and perform my music in many ways. I'd love to try working with a choir, or singers. In any case, I hope and dream that one day, I can hear my own tunes interpreted in new ways I never thought about. That's why I use my notation system. Well, that#s my dream anyway.
